The atmosphere here was more nervous than it had been in the 37 years since the Boxer rebellion.

Japanese troops, after suffering a humiliating defeat at the city's southwest gate, attacked a Chinese regiment in force at Tungchow, 15 miles east of Peiping and according to Japanese sources killed or wounded every man of the 400 to 500 troops in the garrison. Germans were ordered into their embassy. British authorities asked that women and children of their nationals spend the night in the legation quarter. Wealthy Chinese flocked into the quarter and all foreign hotels were jammed. Americans awaited a summons to make for designated concentration points where marines were ready to escort them to the embassy quarter, fighting their way through the streets if necessary.

Almost all the 5,000 Japanese residents of Peiping were in the quarter. Peiping was cut off from Tientsin and the coast by railroad, bus, telegraph and telephone. By wireless, the sole remaining, means of communication, Tientsin reported that the Japanese army hospital there was overflowing with Japanese troop casualties in three serious engagements that have occurred since the week end. The first of these was at Langfang, midway along the 60 mile railroad between Peiping and Tientsin. The second occurred when Japanese troops tried to force their way into the Kwangan gate at the southwest side of Peiping.

Chinese troops trapped half of them inside the wall and fighting ceased only when a Japanese mediator and a Chinese official escorted the Japanese to the embassy quarter. It was asserted that the Japanese virtually surrendered. Then, on the complaint that Chinese troops at Tungchow refused to evacuate or disarm, anese this afternoon attacked the Chinese garrison there with airplanes and infantry. One of two angry Japanese ultimatums demanding withdrawal of Chinese troops had expired, apparently blandly ignored by the Chinese. A second had as its deadline noon tomorrow (midnight tonight EDT).

Chinese sources asserted that China had decided to reject the demands. Chinese troops began sandbagging the streets on the west side of the city and men of the 37th division -which the Japanese disabove all others--remained at the western gates. At Tientsin, 60 miles southeast near the coast, martial law was operative in the native city after the explosion of a bomb in the Japa- I nese concession.
